Strategy Series: Foundations of Structured Literacy

In Strategy Series: Foundations of Structured Literacy, participants build a strong foundation in the principles of structured literacy and why they matter for all students. This session introduces key components of effective reading instruction aligned with the Science of Reading, including phonology, decoding, and language comprehension. Participants leave with a clear rationale for why explicit, systematic instruction outperforms incidental or discovery-based approaches, along with shared vocabulary for talking about structured literacy with colleagues.

Audience: Any educator seeking to learn more about structured literacy and the Science of Reading.

Details: Runs 1.5 hours, available in person or live virtual. Curriculum-agnostic.

Participants leave with background knowledge and strategies, rather than a full instructional routine.

Prerequisites: None.
